Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Begin by dry roasting the sesame seeds in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir continuously to prevent burning and roast until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool.
In a blender or food processor, combine cooled sesame seeds with extra virgin olive oil, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and garlic.
Peel and mince the garlic clove before adding to the blender.
Add grated ginger to the blender, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Measure and add honey to the mixture for a hint of sweetness.
Add black pepper and salt to taste.
Pour in the water to adjust the dressing consistency as desired.
Blend all ingredients on medium speed until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Shake well before serving as the ingredients may separate over time.
